Ashton Kutcher is smart. He studied biochemical engineering at the University of Iowa. He’s good at looking into the future with a nice string of tech investments that would make full-time venture capitalists jealous. Now, he’s adding something new to his resume…
Engineers are at a premium, yet Lenovo landed a new product engineer and celebrity pitchman when it inked a partnership with Ashton Kutcher on Tuesday night.
“It’s somewhat of a dual role,” Kutcher told USA TODAY in a phone interview hours before a live-streaming broadcast to announce his appointment and the introduction of the PC maker’s Yoga Tablet. Shortly after the event, Kutcher was scheduled to fly to China to meet with Lenovo engineers and executives.
